Dorothy Dietrich and Dick Brookz will be doing their annual Original Houdini Seance again this year on HALLOWEEN as they have been doing them since the 1970’s under the guidance and direction of Bess Houdini via Walter B. Gibson, along with Milbourne Christopher.
Over the years they have done them in such locations as NYC’s Magic Towne House, outside Houdini’s home on 113th St, The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pa., and Houdini’s first home in Manhattan, etc.
Anyone interested in attending this year’s event email magiccus@comcast.net for details as they are finalized.
Also, NOV 1 is set for a book signing at Houdini Museum 1433 N. Main Avenue, Scranton PA with Joe Posnanski, author of new book The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini. Dorothy and Dick will both be on hand as well.
Walter Gibson gave the camera a serious look in this photo. We owe that man a debt of gratitude for his recollections, great output of Houdini material and magic.
Absolutely! The same can be said for Dorothy Dietrich and Milbourne Christopher.
Yup–they’re pretty cool too!
Joe Posnanski did a talk at The Houdini Museum, Scranton, PA about “The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini” that was one of the best events we ever had. His biography belongs in every Houdini collection or Houdini bookshelf.
